KYLE'S EAGLE COURT OF HONOR

On October 22,2011 we had Kyle's Court of Honor for his Eagle. We couldn't be prouder!!! We wanted to have it at the bowery since this was his Eagle Project. Kyle and Parker Lewis, of the 8th Ward, each were in charge of putting together nine tables for the bowery of our brand new Stake Center. It was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect.
I am so thankful for good Scout Leaders and his good friend, our neighbor, Colton Jensen, his best friend. They have worked together on every merit badge , and every campout, and played football together. Good Friends make all the difference.
Bishop Dave Fox, gave us the meaning and retirement of the Flag. We all learned a whole lot and he did an awesome job. Kyle's first Scoutmaster, Beau Lewis gave the meaning of the Eagle.
Beau's twin brother, Bobby Lewis, our Stake Young Men President Gave the Eagle Charge.
Grandpa Reed Haddock Presented the Eagle Pin to Kyle. Grandpa has been involved in Scouts for as long as I can remember. Kyle presented the mentor pin to Grandpa for being a great example to Kyle of Hard Work and Dedication. I think Kyle started working alongside Grandpa ever since he was three years old. I remember looking out the window and grandpa would be leaning on his shovel, and Kyle would be doing whatever grandpa would be doing.
I hope Kyle will remember this day and Always GIVE BACK TO SCOUTING MORE THAN SCOUTING HAS GIVEN HIM. Brother Lynn Martineau, conducted everything and at the end he gave kyle a quarter with an eagle on the back. He told him to hold on to that quarter until he has GIVEN BACK TO SCOUTING MORE THAN SCOUTING GAVE TO HIM.
